The impact of emergency department length of stay on the outcomes of trauma patients requiring hospitalization: a retrospective observational study.
Article in World journal of emergency medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWe aimed to explore the impact of the emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) on the outcome of trauma patients.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on all trauma patients requiring hospitalization between 2015 and 2019. Patients were categorized into 4 groups based on the EDLOS (<4 h, 4-12 h,12-24 h, and >24 h). Data were analyzed using Chi-square test (categorical variables), Student's
resultsThe study involved 7,026 patients with a mean age of 32.1±15.6 years. One-fifth of patients had a short EDLOS (<4 h) and had higher level trauma team T1 activation (TTA-1), higher Injury Severity Score (ISS), higher shock index (SI), and more head injuries than the other groups (
conclusionsPatients with shorter EDLOS had different baseline characteristics and hospital outcomes compared with patients with longer EDLOS. Patients with prolonged EDLOS had better outcomes; however, the burden of prolonged boarding in the ED needs further elaboration.
